ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to examine the influence of principals’ supervision on teachers’ job performance in Edo Central Senatorial District, Nigeria. Seven (7) research questions were raised while five (5) hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance.
The correlational design was adopted. The population of the study consisted of 69 principals and 269 teachers in public junior secondary schools in Edo Central Senatorial District of Nigeria. The sample consisted of 69 principals and 108 teachers. The questionnaire titled: Teachers’ Job Performance Questionnaire (TJPQ) and Principals’ Supervisory Function Questionnaire (PSFQ) were used to gather relevant data. Reliability was carried out on the instruments and the reliability coefficient indices were 0.72 and 0.84 respectively. The data collected were analyzed using frequencies, percentage, mean and standard deviation and the chi-square.
It was revealed from the analysis that Principals in secondary schools in Edo Central Senatorial District performed 12 supervisory functions and that the level of principal supervisory functions was good. The rating of job performance of teachers was also discovered to be good. The result also showed a significant relationship between principals’ supervision and teachers’ job performance. It was recommended that Principals should improve more in their supervisory functions in secondary schools to ensure continuous growth and attainment of school goals.
